Q: What adds more value, a garage or extra room?

• <div><p>It depends on a lot of factors, but generally speaking, added living space is more desirable to most buyers, which means an extra room will be more valuable than a traditional garage. The utility of the new space will determine how much ROI you&rsquo;ll see. An additional bedroom will generally be more valuable than a living room or family room, and converting your garage to a bedroom with a bathroom will likely add the most value.</p></div>

Q: Is building a new home worth it?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/homebuilding-101-learn-what-expect-when-building-home.htm">Building a new home</a> can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder&rsquo;s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.</p></div>

Q: Does building up or building out provide more ROI?

• <div><p>Since building up tends to provide useful bedrooms and other extra spaces without the need to do a lot of foundation work and cut into your yard, second stories tend to have better ROI&mdash;up to 65%&mdash;than other kinds of additions. But ROI will depend on the type of rooms you are planning and what your current house has. It&rsquo;s not a very reliable way to judge the success or failure of a project, so consider other factors as well. </p></div>

Q: What is the best material for building a garage?

• <div><p>Wood, steel, fiberglass, and aluminum are among the top building materials for a garage. Wood is highly customizable, naturally insulative, and durable in mild climates but can be expensive. Steel is lightweight, low-maintenance, and cost-effective, but it&rsquo;s susceptible to rust. Fiberglass is low-maintenance and doesn&rsquo;t shrink or expand in changing temperatures, but it can become brittle and crack from prolonged high winds and sun exposure. </p><p>Unlike steel, aluminum isn&rsquo;t susceptible to rust and is low-maintenance, but its ultra-light weight makes it less durable than some materials, and it&rsquo;s susceptible to saltwater damage, making it a poor choice for coastal homes.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to buy a garage or build one?

• <div><p>In most cases, it&rsquo;s cheaper to build a garage, but it depends on how much of the labor you do yourself. If you can do most of it yourself, it tends to be cheaper than buying a prefab garage. But if you hire a contractor to build it, it&rsquo;ll likely end up more expensive than a prefab garage.</p></div>

They have a lovely facility on a wooded lot. The entire building is fenced in, and there are some open kennels that the dogs take turns in for out door playtime. There's a fenced in grassy lot for supervised play. The grooming job they did on my shaggy little Sheltie was outstanding.
